Foreign guys are sexy because we have no idea what they are saying. ;-) Besides, the grass is always greener, right? I also think there is an element of Alpha in guys raised in foreign countries. They aren't as confined to the PC culture we have here.

Okay, here's my foreign hottie story. When I was in college I did a summer study abroad trip to London. Unfortunately, about a week into it my knee replacement (which had been done for the cancer) broke while I was crossing King's Road. I ended up spending a couple of days in the Chelsea and Wesminster hospital before I flew home. But in hospital I had not one, but TWO male nurses. One was Scottish, the other Irish!!!

I was sort of a celebrity on the ward because I was the young American with no family around so they were especially attentive. Plus the other women on the ward were 70+. So naturally the hot young male nurses gravitated toward lil' old me.

Lachlan, the Scottish one, was worried that I couldn't talk to my family because there weren't phones for the patients, so he wheeled my bed to the nurses station so I could talk to my Grandmother. And of course we flirted. A lot.

He was a dreamboat and had the lovliest Scottish accent. We exchanged letters for a while after I got back home, but there was no email back then so it just sort of played itself out.

I don't have any good foreign stories. The best I have is at girl scout summer camp when I was 11 we had a counselor at the pool who was a handsome Austrailian. The poor guy was swamped every where he went. There were only 3 guys in the entire camp.

Good call on the alpha element, Rach. That's why it always hurt so good when the foreign guys were being jerks. Yes, there was more than one...

JulieO. The accent. Of course. I just want to hear Flavio (too close to Fabio for words) say, "Yes. I am, em, how do you say, Michaelina? Damp. Won't you towel me off, per favore? Grazie, Bella. Si. I'm glad I'm not wearing a speedo, also."

Err Julie in Ohio--I'm not looking at his eyes, well I am but I'm also pretty sure in the shower pic he is happy to see me!

Rachd, see sometimes we do like the alpha in real life. And Vivi I can't believe you don't have a story for us.

Mandacoll--Lachlan! Lachlan! OMG, what a great story. Lachlan...

I have no story--except I went out with a sailor from England, in port for "Tall Ships" back in the 70s--anyone remember that? Anyone, anyone? But he was very sweet and gave me his cool sailor shirt when he left.

I am an "eye" girl. I love light colored eyes. I still go back to the archives to look at Raol. His eyes just grab ya. Flavio (still not liking the name) he has the eyes and smile. I can even get into the messy hair.

I realize I'm being a kill joy here but does anyone else look at someone who with a name like Flavio should have an accent but then think that he is probably from California and says things like "Dude, look at that wave"?I guess I know too many Juan Rodriguez's who have no accent.

Stacy, I was just reading about Heiress For Hire--sounds great, the last time I tried to get on your blog--I couldn't. Don't know why, the window never opened all the way. Anyhoo, I'm going to try from my work computer.
